This
story took my Forever!! Not because it was awful, but because November was a
busy month for me. Geez.! Why can't I just read books day in and day out? Why
do I have to be an adult?!! Okay, enough about my problems, let's jump into
this review. I got back to my favorite type of hero with this story and you
probably guessed it, right? Cowboys!!
Not only is he a cowboy, but he is one with deep pockets and he gets a second
chance at love, which is also my fav.!!
At
the first chance of leaving his small town in Texas, Cody could not leave fast
enough. Trying to escape the slow wither
of his dying mother, Cody leaves for college and doesn't look back. In the crossfire is Lexi and she is hell bent
on holding a grudge against the boy who skipped town and crushed her heart. Ten
years later, Cody is home for the holidays and Lexi is his dad's nurse. Cody's dad has cancer and he is basically bed
ridden and Lexi is his home nurse. Their
past tests their present and Cody has to decide whether to face his past head
on or to run away from it like the first time.
I liked Cody and Lexi together and I adored Lexi's son. The family dynamic was sweet and Cody wasn't
the rugged cowboy, but he was business savvy and knew how to get his hands
dirty. The death of Cody's mother was a
hart hit for him and he has been running away ever since. Lexi is a single mother and is given a helping
hand by the Ford family and she is a strong character with a huge heart being
that her mother is sick as well. I loved
them together and I was so happy about how things unfolded.
The
family dynamic narrative carried this story and I really adored Walter, Cody's
father. The tender love that Lexi had
for her son really touched me and I really felt for her. I was so excited when Cody finally faced his
past and came to his senses. Thank the Heavens for that because he already
screwed up once, Big time.
I
really don’t have much negative things to says besides the ending feeling
unfinished, which is a minor thing and not much to lose hair over. Another thing is the switching of the POVs. It switches from Lexi and Cody's
simultaneously and it kinda bothered me, but it didn't pull me from the story
too much. This is a sweet Christmas
story about a second chance at love and a cowboy coming home. Grab some tea or
hot cocoa because I definitely recommend it.!!
